The emigration year of 1852 stands out as the
year of illness and death on the trail for humans and animals alike. Most
of the human toll was the result of cholera. While the diaries often
suggest that the cattle died from an imaginary disease called "hollow
horn", it is thought by some experts that the loss of cattle was actually
due to anthrax with the stress of the journey as a contributing factor.

The diaries and journals available for that
year mention seeing wagons "as far as the eye can see" both ahead and
behind. While it has been estimated that over 10,000 adventurous souls
started out for Oregon in 1852, an accounting of how many actually arrived is
hard to determine. It is thought that as many as 1,000 may have turned
back. Death definitely took a toll and then there were those who, at
the last minute, turned off for California. The emigrants going
to California that year was estimated at upwards of 50,000.

Indians were not as troublesome in 1852 as
some of the other years. This was due, in part, to a treaty that was
engineered by Thomas Fitzpatrick "Broken Hand" in 1851. The
size of the emigration also no doubt had a bearing. Trains were traveling
so close to each other that it provided extra security.

Most of the trains for 1852 were small in
size due to the difficulty in finding water, camping spots and feed for the
cattle. A larger train was simply too hard to manage. Most companies were
made up of family and friends with single men hired to drive wagons and assist
with the cattle. Assuming that a train consisted of 50 or fewer
individuals it would mean that there were at least 200 separate trains headed
for Oregon. And this would not account for the approximately 1000
companies headed for California.

As I compile the listing for 1852 I welcome
any additions and corrections you care to make. I can be contacted at the
email address at the bottom of this page.

was drawn by three or four yoke of oxen, that would be over one hundred
fifty. They started from Indiana and crossed the Missouri River at
Council Bluffs, taking the Oregon Trail up the Platte River, and after a six
month journey they arrived at The Dalles on September 28, remaining there until
December. .... On the trip to Oregon they lost five members to

Note per Ken Robinson: I'm not quite sure how "46 people" - including
children - managed 52 wagons. I'm suspicious of the math. Any
additional information would be appreciated.

word of the virtues of the Oregon Territory reached Illinois, the talk turned
to another move.An advanced migration
of church members went west in 1850.It
consisted of Elijah and Margaret Davidson, Squire S. and Elizabeth Whitman,
Thomas and Sarah Lucas and their families, as well as a number of single
men.They reached Polk County, OR in

with him he dealt the blow at which humanity would at any time recoil. Vengeance
however quickly followed him and he was doomed to the penalty which his conduct
so complety deserved" [Covered Wagon Women, Vol 5 Journal of Abigail Jane

murderer lies in the next grave": The other bears the inscription of
"Horace Dolley hung June 29th 1852". It appears Dolley had
contracted a grudge towards Botsford with regard to some little difficulty
between them--had persuaded him to accompany him in a excursion and while alone
with him he dealt the blow at which humanity would at any time recoil. Vengeance
however quickly followed him and he was doomed to the penalty which his conduct

DUNMORE, Sherman ( -1852): "July 15 This
day we remained in camp. We have been thrown into considerable excitement
in consequence of a murder being committed in a train from Wisconsin, which is
now camped one (half) mile from us (in the trial of which the men of our train
have been called upon as jurymen). The murder was committed on Hams fork
of Green River, and the circumstances connected with it as near as I could
learn was as follows: One Daniel Olmstead was taking five men across the
plains, and it appears that they had not lived very agreeably together as it
was proved in the trial which came off to day that the five had boasted that
they had their boss under their thumb and intended to keep him there. It
was proved that Olmstead went out in the morning to watch his cattle telling
Sherman Dunmore (the murdered man) to make a fire and put on the teakettle so
they could have some breakfast. When he returned at breakfast time the
other men had finished their repast and he asked where his breakfast was.
Dunmore replied that if he wanted any he might cook it himself.
This was the result of much abusive language on both sides; however
Olmstead prepared his breakfast himself. Dunmore threatening in the most
abusive manner to whip him. Olmstead calmly replied that if he did he
would not live long to brag about it. Upon this he left him and went into
the tent and commenced eating his breakfast, using for the purpose a small
sized butcher knife. Dunmore followed him and jumping upon him commenced
beating him and endeavored to kick him in the face with his boots.
Olmstead called upon the bystanders to take him off saying at the same
time that he had a knife. As no one interfered he stabbed him in the
lower part of the chest. Upon this Dunmore started back and exclaimed
that he was stabbed. He fell and in twenty minutes was a corpse. The
jury after an impartial investigation of the tragical affair brought in a
verdict to this effect: That the wound was made by the knife of Olmstead
caused the death of the said Dunmore and that the same was inflicted by the
aforesaid Olmstead in self defense." [Covered Wagon Women Vol 5, Journal
of Abigail Jane Scott p. 88]

of the Constitutional Convention, where he served to the satisfaction of the
people. In 1852 he went, or rather started to Oregon, but he died on the plains
and was buried there. Mark A. Duzan had one of the happiest make-ups of any man
I ever was acquainted with. He could adapt himself to the senate chamber or
drive oxen, run, hop, jump, or make a capital speech, as the case required. In
person he was perfect; 5 feet 10 inches high, well formed, weighing 175 lbs.,
with fair complexion and auburn hair. He was elected to the above office as a
Democrat. Mr. Duzan was never married. Though he sleeps in an unknown grave he
will be remembered by many citizens of Boone County. [Early Life and Times of

Rhys GWYNN FAMILY RESEARCHER:
GWYNN, Rhys Rev. (1834-1917): note: obituary says he was a pioneer of 1852 which appears to be incorrect. According to the 1900 census he did not arrive in the US until 1861. Other records, including his marriage information, indicates he was not in Oregon until the 1860s.

Hamlin left Iowa in April, 1852, and arrived in Jackson County, Oregon via the
Southern Route in October, 1852. They lost a baby daughter along the
way. James was involved in the Indian War of 1853, and during the Indian
uprising of 1855, their's was the only cabin that was not burned by the
Indians. Supposition is that Grandma Hamlin was friendly with the
Indians, so the cabin was spared. Children born after arrival in Oregon (George Washington Hamlin, b. 1853, d. after

(source unknown) lists a daughter, Sarah Mariah Hamlin b. 26 Feb 1845 and a
son, James H Hamlin b. 15 Jun 1851. These children do not appear in any
other document or record related to James & Eliza Hamlin, and they do not
appear on any census records. However, at the foot of the burial plot of
James & Eliza Hamlin there are two small concrete blocks with initials
scratched in them: "JH" and "SM". I believe
these are in memory of these two children who died before the family left Iowa
headed for Oregon, and have added them to my Hamlin family tree.

John Hill applied for a Donation Land Claim in Linn County, near Harrisburg, and it was there that a son, William Calvin, was born, 19 July 1853. In December of 1853, John Hill wrote a letter to his sister, in Iowa, telling of the birth of William, and extoling the wonders of the Oregon country, also giving news of Dr. Samuel Bergen and Harvey Hill, the brother of John, who came across the plains with them. But on 19 May 1854, William Calvin died, and John Hill died three days later, on 22 May 1854. Family information says that they are buried in a nearby cemetery. John's wife, Armilda, now a widow with three young girls, married Dr. Samuel Bergen, a family friend, 26 September 1854, and they had a son, Aurum Armand Bergen, born August 1855, in Oregon. It is not known when Armilda and Dr. Bergen returned to Iowa, but they are shown in the 1860 Davis County, Iowa, census. They later settled in Anderson, McDonald County, Missouri, where Dr. Bergen practiced medicine. Armilda died there, 1 April 1909, and Dr. Bergen died there 5 November 1912.

"HAYES, SETH W.--Born in Ohio in 1825; came from Iowa to Oregon in 1852, and settled near the present site of Halsey, Linn County, two years later. The town of Halsey was laid out in 1871, by the railroad company, partly upon Mr. Hayes land, and that gentleman owned property in it. He was murdered, on November 1, 1876, by Kay Neal. The circumstances of the killing were as follows: Mr. Hayes ardent temperance principles and prominence made him obnoxious to certain ill-disposed liquor dealers and their supporters. The town was incorporated in the centennial year, through the joint efforts of Mr. Hayes, Jacob Thompson, and others, who sought to extirpate the whiskey traffic. Neal sought a quarrel with Hayes, and taking him at a disadvantage, stabbed him, there being no eye-witness. The unfortunate victim lived but a few hours. The assassin attempted to escape, but was taken and imprisoned. When he was brought to trial his lawyers set up a plea of self-defense, but a verdict was rendered, convicting Neal of murder in the first degree. Sentence being pronounced, the murderer was executed at Albany, on the twenty-eighth of January, 1877. This homicide constitutes, probably, the most striking event in the history of the county of Linn. Mr. Hayes was twice married, and his children numbered six, of whom five are living, viz. Daniel, S. S., Frank R., Gertrude, and Irving. The second Mrs. Hayes (formerly Miss Finlay) is now residing on a portion of the Hayes ranch near Halsey."

HILL, John (1823-1854): m'd 1846 HARPER, Armilda; John Hill was born 29 October 1823, in Jefferson County, New York, to Eben Hill and Anna Barney. The Eben Hill family migrated to Van Buren County, Iowa, and were there by 1836 when a census was taken. John Hill married Armilda Harper in Des Moines County, Iowa, 1 August 1846, and they had three daughters, Lurissa Jane, born 22 February 1848; Sarah Anna (my gr. grandmother), born 20 July 1849; and Roseltha Emaline, born 3 March 1851, before they started for Oregon in 1852. John Hill applied for a Donation Land Claim in Linn County, near Harrisburg, and it was there that a son, William Calvin, was born, 19 July 1853. In December of 1853, John Hill wrote a letter to his sister, in Iowa, telling of the birth of William, and extoling the wonders of the Oregon country, also giving news of Dr. Samuel Bergen and Harvey Hill, the brother of John, who came across the plains with them. But on 19 May 1854, William Calvin died, and John Hill died three days later, on 22 May 1854. Family information says that they are buried in a nearby cemetery. John's wife, Armilda, now a widow with three young girls, married Dr. Samuel Bergen, a family friend, 26 September 1854, and they had a son, Aurum Armand Bergen, born August 1855, in Oregon. It is not known when Armilda and Dr. Bergen returned to Iowa, but they are shown in the 1860 Davis County, Iowa, census. They later settled in Anderson, McDonald County, Missouri, where Dr. Bergen practiced medicine. Armilda died there, 1 April 1909, and Dr. Bergen died there 5 November 1912.

HILL, John (1829-1852): John Hill � died on the trail May 11, 1852;
"At Council Bluffs, we [the Isaac Hill train] found an immense
city of wagons waiting to be taken over in flat bottomed ferry boats propelled
by oars. The river was very high and some two miles wide. Father
had written to the man in charge of the emigrant crossing the Missouri River at
this point and informed him of the probable date of our arrival, and had received
a permit to cross. When we drove up ready to cross with the tongue of
each wagon made fast to the one ahead, those who had arrived ahead of us were
very angry. They ran our wagons back from the river and placed theirs
ahead. Then our men rolled the wagons back and placed ours in position
and stood guard over them all night. There was great pushing and
crowding. Many not belonging to Father's train got across on his permit.
There were no houses then at Council Bluffs. On the Nebraska
side where Omaha now stands there were only some Indian tepees. It took
three days, May 10, 11, and 12, to cross. Almost all of our wagons were
transported across the first day. The next morning, May 11th, one of our
wagons and a boat loaded with cattle started across. My brother John, a
young man of twenty-three years of age, accompanied them. Suddenly the
boat sank. An effort to save John was made, but it was
unsuccessful. He was drowned and his body was not found. A deep
sense of loss and sadness fell upon us as we left the river to continue our
journey, leaving John, who was so well beloved, behind us.--Mary M. Hill Dunn,
daughter of Isaac Hill [Submitted by Jennie Hill Cobb]
